Ingredients:
For the sweet potatoes:
Sweet potatoes - 4 medium-sized
Butter - 4 tablespoons
Maple syrup - 1/4 cup
Brown sugar - 1/4 cup
Cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
For the topping:
Pecans - 1/2 cup, chopped
Marshmallows - 1 cup
Butter - 2 tablespoons
Brown sugar - 1/4 cup
Now that we have all of our ingredients, let's start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating up, wash and peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and add in the cubed sweet potatoes.
Next, we'll add in the maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to the sweet potatoes. Mix everything together until the sweet potatoes are coated in the sweet and savory mixture. Cook the sweet potatoes over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In the meantime, we can prepare the topping for our sweet potatoes. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add in the chopped pecans, marshmallows, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted and everything is well combined.
Once the sweet potatoes are done cooking, transfer them to a baking dish and pour the topping mixture over them. Spread the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the marshmallows are lightly toasted.
When the dish is finished baking, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The combination of sweet and savory flavors, along with the crunch from the pecans and the gooeyness of the marshmallows, will make this dish a hit at your Christmas dinner. So go ahead and impress your family and friends with this delicious sweet potato recipe!
